The Best Iced Coffee Recipe Ever.

I'd love to thank the inventors of chocolate, coffee and books. I cannot live without those things. Up until recently, I called myself the type of person who would drink coffee regardless of how hot it was.

Then I discovered iced coffee.

I found some recipes on the internet and tried and tweaked them around until I had a simple recipe that tasted simply amazing. I didn't include amounts because I know tastes in coffee vary widely. Here it is:

You will need

• Milk
• Boiling water
• Cold water
• Ice cubes
• Sugar
• And of course, instant coffee powder.

Instructions

1. Put coffee into a cup or glass. I use 1 teaspoon.
2. Pour in just enough boiling water to dissolve the coffee.
3. Stir well.
4. Add sugar.
5. Add cold water and milk in the ratio you like best.
6. Add ice cubes and stir.
7. Enjoy!

Variations

1. Coffee beans can also be used. However, this method needs you to wait quite a while before you enjoy your coffee. You will have to leave the coffee in the boiling water for a couple of hours to brew, and then strain it. Too complicated, if you ask me. The taste is far better though, if you have the patience.
2. Add some maple syrup to the coffee. This adds some toffee-ish taste, which releases divine flavours when it blends with the coffee. Remember that it will only dissolve if you add it to the boiling water.
3. Replace milk with cream or coffee creamer for a creamier coffee.
4. Add some whipped cream on top.

I don't usually do recipes and all things such. This is one exception though. Coffee is, after all, exceptional. :-)
